The Burning Busb,

Presiding Elder Murray preached IN
interest sermon In Asbury NJ. L.
church on Sund " morning from the Sd
verse Of the Sd chapter OF Exodus: /
And Mosos said will nov turn aside
and see this great sight Why this bush |
Is not burned" 10 his opening re.
marks he detailed the circumstances OF !
Moses' birth aud education, By which |
he was at.ed to be leader OF the poo
pie. After his sesociating with the
king and his court, and heing the leader
OF the army, he was exiled and became
. shepherd and tended bis focks, show
log his power Of adaptation to the dif-
erentocircum stances OF life He next
alluded TO the burning bush, which
represented the children OF Izrael 10

The lowness Of the bush represented
the humble position OF the children Of
Israel, ~ we'll as others VINO bad beeu
cAllsd BY God 10 promote his kingdom.
Christ wss born IN a man ger, and the
humble were selec.ed to confound the
mighty. The same WAS the case TO
day. The Lord continued 70 call poor
young men to the ministry, ard put
upon them the necessity to educate
themselves 10 order that they might
understand AID sympathixe with the
poverty aud fil :ction OF the great mass
OF the people. From their own piiva
ttons they were taught TO appreciate
the privatioIs Of the poor and suffering,
and htted for their work. He alluded
to the sudden dea,h OF Rev Joseph

Lessons that should not be overlooked.
He spoke OF the bush being In the

Opsra House Meeting.

The temperance meeting OF the Red
Ribbon Society st the Opera House yes
.erday afternoon was we'll attended.
The first speaker was the Rev. o. g..
Buddiugton OF Bethany Baptist Church.
Mr.. Buddirgton referred to the tcied
and abandoned phases Of temperance
work. He said the efforts TO reclaim
the drur kard and TO restrain him by
pledges had failed. He compared this
hind OF work with trying to save N an
after he has gone over Niagara Fslls.
IL lie possible, but hardly probable The
effort to 90 above the falls and restrain
the hsadloDg rush had also failed. Ii
cepse does not restrain the sale OF H.
ouors. but gives . character to the man
Who cells them. High license gives
both character and monopoly to the
dealers. The license system does not
restrain nor decrease the men addicted
10 drink, but gives TO the traffic Of sell
| inc rum @ protection which no Other
business enjoys. The only possible
remedy Ia prohibition. II Ia reasonable
! II ia right, and II will be effective.
The next speaker was the Rev. r b.
Cook, d. D., pastor of the Second Bap
| t,st church. DIR. Cook began BY re-
ferripp TO some OF Mr.. Buddington't
remarks. He selected from them the
one about personal liberty. The liquor
dealers. said the speaker, do not confint
them elves to the exercise OF persona
liberty, but invade every mans cast. @
They make paupers, murderers, and
burden society with the care Of the
helpless, and increase the cost Of gov

LEGISLATIVE NOTES,

1t is said that the man who drew twelve cha.
mos skins from the Secretary of State is having
them made up into toga. Who it it says that
Esop's fable about the ass and the lions skin is
a chestnut?
Republican Assemblyman arose to debate a
motion to adjourn on the first day of the session
and was sat down upon. Yesterday, when the
previous question was put, he arose and said
" Mr.. Speaker, would like to have it read"
Mrs A. J. Kennedy has been appointed clerk
of the Assembly Committee on Elections, and
not Ed. c. Humphreys as heretofore announced.
Since the lobbyists are excluded from the
floor of the Assembly the pages find their la
bors increased very materially. Yesterday a
lady dressed in black sent in message to an
Assemblyman, requesting his vote ON the reso-
luton appointing committee clerks. The note is
